Rondale Moore leads Purdue to major upset win

Darrin Ford

Anthony Nelson added a TD on a fumble recovery for the Hawkeyes (6-1, 3-1 Big Ten), whose defense held the Terrapins to just 115 yards and seven first downs on a day when wind gusts topped 40 miles per hour.

"We knew they were going to get some yards because we were playing soft coverage", Bailey said. The Buckeyes got hammered - just like a year ago, when they suffered a 31-point defeat at Iowa that the committee couldn't get over. "Maybe we made them slightly panic in what they did offensively".

After closing to 14-6 early in the third quarter, Davon Hamilton was called for roughing the kicker and the Boilermakers cashed in on their second chance with Knox's 1-yard TD run.

Faced with the same scenario, the second-ranked Buckeyes didn't learn anything from that memorable upset, getting routed by Purdue 49-20 in West Lafayette and in turn putting their postseason and Big Ten aspirations in serious peril. "People running into you, falling over and I'm like, 'No, get up please.' I mean, it was a great time and an awesome moment".

Boilermakers: "This win means a lot for this team because it shows everyone around the country that you can win football games at Purdue", Brohm said. "We did a nice job making their quarterback a little bit uncomfortable and with that the offense was able to score some points and maybe make them (Buckeyes) slightly panic just a bit".

Isaac Zico capped Purdue's longest scoring drive of the season, 98 yards, with a spectacular one-handed catch before running out of bounds to make it 7-0 late in the first quarter. Blough was outstanding all night, throwing for 378 yards and three touchdowns, with no turnovers.

Haskins' 32-yard touchdown pass to Johnnie Dixon with 9:36 left in the game to cut the lead to 28-13 was OSU's first touchdown of the game.

The first of those came with the help of two 15-yard Purdue penalties.

Purdue kept Ohio State off the board altogether twice, once forcing a 33-yard field goal that missed and once holding on a fourth down at the 2. Penn State 18. Iowa 19.

Haskins wound up 49 of 73, shattering the single-game school records in both categories, and had 470 yards and two touchdowns and one interception. A Boilermakers' manager tweeted about Ohio State's locker room manners following the loss on Saturday night.
